Black Kong & Magic Duel (黑降與斗法)

The above
photo is a set of Lan Na ritual items used to cure Kong Tao.

Many of the
Lan Na (Northern Thai) hill tribe shamans are notorious of their black magic. Sometimes
people call them “the black shirt arjans”. In Singapore and Malaysia Thai magic
also known as “Kong Tao”. Let us explore some of the well known Northern Thai
magic; in addition of the ones that we have discussed before. Details of
rituals omitted intentionally for simplicity … For I don’t intend to compile an
encyclopedia as yet J:

1.Love Kong(愛情降)

a.Make two wax figures: one for male and one for
female.

b.Prepare a piece of red string, some incense, a pair
of candles. Also not forgetting the couple’s photo and hairs.

c.Let the wax figures face each other and tie them
together.

d.Recite soul catching mantra to the wax figures.

e.Perform the ritual for 7~49 days.

2.Separation Kong (分離降)

a.This is normally done in conjunction to the love
kong.

b.Once the love kong has taken effect after the 7~49
days, the third party must be separated using this separation kong.

c.Again, two wax figures must be made.

d.Prepare a piece of white string, some incense, a
pair of candles. The third party’s photo or hair with the husband/wife’s
personal items.

chanting for 7~49 days.

f.After that the wax figures are thrown into the
river.

3.Sanitary Pad Kong (月經布降)

b.The method is to let the sanity pad exposed to
midnight dew for 49 days.

then let the man consume.

a.This can only be performed by a she.

b.Prepare some pubic hair, incense and candles.

c.Expose the pubic hair to midnight dew for 49 days

experiencing very bad luck thereafter.

5.Needle Kong (針降)

days before hand.

b.First prepare a wax figure of your target.

cause harm.

6.Crazy Dead Kong (瘋死降)

a.Prepare one wax figure or two, a small coffin, a
coffin nail, incense, a pair of white candles, a large bowl of animal blood, a
piece of white string.

b.Prepare the wax figure as before.

c.Now, burn a incense stick; let the flame burning.
Prick the still burning incense into the heart of the wax figure.

d.Then, put the figure into the small coffin,
followed by the coffin nail on top of the figure.

c.Sit on the cow hide and recite mantra until the cow
hide slowly shrink in size until become as small as a dust particle.

d.To utilize:

raw cow hide and a wax figure.

ii.Dip the cow hide
into a bowl of water, and then wrap the wax figure with the cow hide.

iii.Continue to recite
mantra while dry the package with fire.

iv.The cow hide will
shrink as it is drying, so the target will indirectly feel something is squeezing
him/her body until suffocation.

e.This is a non-curable death curse. Sufficient to
know, do not practice it!

9.Killer Eggs

a.Prepare an egg; write your enemy’s name and date of
birth on the egg shell.

b.At night put the egg on a tree branch it at night
and collect it at dawn, do this for 49 days.

c.During this time, cut a paper figure then inscribe
on the paper figure your target’s name and birthrate.

d.Burn some incense and smudge the figure while
imagining the person’s face; you may recite some soul catching mantra of your
choice, if you like. But whatever you do, you must have full concentration.

e.Fix the human figure on to your altar and burn joss
sticks three times a day for 49 days; as if you are worshipping an idol.

f.After 49 days period, bring the egg onto your altar
at mid-night.

g.Attach the human figure onto the egg, take a needle
and poke through the paper figure into the egg.

h.You may never see the person again.

10.Maggot KT (蛆降)

a.This type of KT will cause maggots to populate
inside the body of the victim. If untreated, will result in the internal organs
of the person to be devoured by maggots.

b.This Maggot KT is intake through actual mouth
consumption only.

11.Ghost KT (鬼降)

a.This KT is utilizing the power of powerful ghost to
affect the well being of its target.

b.No actual
consumption needed, but personal belonging of the person such as nails and
hairs or the birth date is required.

12.Snake KT(蛇降)

a.Snake KT is
obtained by collecting various poisonous snakes and store them all into an urn
covered as before. The subsequent sole survivor is the king of the snake. It is
subsequently pulverized and the powder is put into target’s food or drink.

b.The person
will be haunted by the spirits of snakes until become insane or death by snake
bite.

13.Niddle KT(針降)

a.There are
two types of niddle KT. One is through the normal needle cursing method; the
other is using about 40 types of material to produce the required potion. This
potion if applied onto the skin of the victim, the victim will suffer from
unbearable itchiness and pin holes can be observed on the victim’s skin.

14.Hair KT (頭發降)

a.This type of KT utilizes a corpse as the prime
media. First corpse oil is obtained, then some corpse hair, some herbs and the
practitioner’s blood drawn from his/her ring finger. After incantation, the
mixture is kept in a dark area. If the hair inside the corpse oil is observed
growing, then this is an indication that the magic has worked. This corpse must
be stored at a secret location for later use.

b.The victim’s stomach will be stuffed with hair
blobs for no apparent reasons. If untreated, he/she may die from suffocation.

15.Flying Dead
Head KT (飛頭尸降)

a.This KT is
normally practiced in conjunction with the Hair KT. This is normally the last
draw for the practitioner as this requires the chopping off of the corpse’s
head. This head is said to be able to fly off to attack his/her enemy.

16.Blood Sucker KT (吸血蟲降)

a.Blood sucker KT is obtained through putting a group
of various blood sucking insects into a container. The container is sealed and
buried beside a cross roads for 49 days. The subsequence material is believed
to be the “egg” of the KT.

b.If consumed, the person’s stomach will be stuffed
with blood sucking insects until death.

Phew! Those were some awful
Lan Na black magic, won’t you think so?

The curing
of Kong Tau victim varies according to schools of teachings. The general
structure is as below. I would avoid the details for simplicity and don't wanna worry people around ;-)

Kong Tau
Soul Retrieval (收魂)

1.Determine
if the patient is indeed suffered from Kong Tau or just plain physical
sickness. This can be done through mantra recitation, 6th sense,
through servitor spirits such as a kid spirits or through astrological reading.

2.If
it is the work of Kong Tau, then the patient’s soul must be retrieved and any
magical implants must be removed.

6.Food
offering are made to the lineage gurus, local spirits and so called karmic
related spirits that is attached to the patient.

7.After
that the elemental spirits: earth, wind, fire and water are invoked to call
back the patient’s soul.

8.If
this process is smooth, then once the soul is back into the patient; the four
elements of the body are balanced through visualization and elemental mantra
recitation.

9.Any
foreign objects such needles are then removed through the egg ritual or other
rituals to send the needles back to their owner.

10.After
that the patient’s body is sealed with drawing or tattooing a protective or
blessing Yent.

11.So
the initial treatment is over? Well, that is if the other party is conceding
defeated. Otherwise, there will be a sequel.

Kong Tau
Duel: You Die Or I Die (斗法)

The above shown are two yants used for Kong Tow duel. I don't know how many people still follow this practice now. Include here for our reading purposes.

1.If
the other black shirt arjan is not satisfied and refuse to let go the patient’s
soul, then a Kong Tau Duel is inevitable.

2.The
magic duel normally occurs after 9pm, it can be either direct or indirect.
Directly means both parties will draw Yants on the floor, sit in the Yantra and
start chanting mantras until one party is defeated. The defeated party may die
of magic backfire. If the attacking parties won the fight, then the life of the
patient also flies.

3.I
have seen snakes, knives, bloody spirits being sent to and fro during the fight.
But luckily now a day, many arjans do not want to endanger his or her own lives
and would want the duel to end in peace. Well, after all, it is not worth the
money to risk the arjan’s life J.

4.In
fact, not many arjans have such spiritual power to send things to and fro …
many resolve to use kid spirits instead. Hmm … I wonder if this is a good thing
or bad. But we will never know, somewhere in the hill region of Thai and
Cambodia; we may still find powerful ones. So we must be on our guards if we
want to stay in this line.
